Add the New York Jets to the COVID-19 list

This week, COVID-19 hit the New York Jets. It seems that it is a matter of when, not if each NFL team will be hit with the novel coronavirus. 

After a presumptive positive player test today, all Jets players and coaches were just sent home, per source.

Sam Darnold who was ruled out with injury earlier in the week and was going to be replaced by former Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco, may not end up missing a game after all, if the New York Jets next game ends up getting postponed. The Jets are scheduled to host the Arizona Cardinals at 1PM EST on Sunday 10/11.

Week 4 Challenges

Week 4 of the NFL season saw a litany of games get moved around and Week 5 is no different. The New England Patriots vs  Denver Broncos game has been moved to Monday 10/12 at 5PM EST and the Buffalo Bills vs Tennessee Titans game has been moved to Tuesday 10/13 at 7PM EST.

NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills earlier this week:

"Risk mitigation, not elimination, is the key. Our protocols are designed to quickly identify new cases, get individuals the care they need, and prevent further spread of the virus." https://t.co/EDWUOBPggz
